Ingredients:
1½lb (750g) fresh fava beans
3 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 x 14oz (400g) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
2 scallions (green onions), thinly sliced on the diagonal
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method:
1 Remove the fava beans from their pods, and slip off the skins. Set aside.
2 Heat the oil in a saucepan over low heat. Add the onion, and cook gently for about 5 minutes until soft.
3 Add the fava beans, and cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add 2 cups water, season with salt and pepper, and partially-cover the pan with a lid. Bring to a gentle simmer, and continue cooking for 25 minutes, mashing the beans a bit as you cook. Drain, and allow to cool.
4 Add the cooled fava bean mixture to a food processor. Add the drained cannellini beans, dill, and scallions, and process to a chunky purée. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl, and serve with fresh crusty bread.
Cheat:
Use frozen fava beans instead of fresh. Leave them to defrost first, then slip off their skins, if needed.
